What is standby power?
Standby power is electricity
used by appliances while
they are switched off or not
performing their primary
function. These products
draw power 24 hours a day,
often without the knowledge
of the consumer.
Standby mode?
Vampire power
Vampire draw
Phantom load
Leaking electricity

Analysis
• From the graphs it is shown that as the income is
growing, no of gadgets are growing in homes. As
the economy is growing, per capita income is
also growing which results increase in the
population of gadgets in future.
• As the no. of gadgets are increasing , standby
power is also increasing.
• Population of TVs and Cell phones are very high
as compared to others.
From Graph it is shown that 0.2-0.5 lakh income group have 100% TVs
‘Cell phones and Mosquito destroyers
In this income group every family have 2 cell phones. And every
Two families have one inverter.
In income group of 5.0 lakh every family have 4 cell phones.
All gadgets have good volume except printers and scanners.
As the Income is Increasing Standby power also increases
Above graph shows that TVs mostly remain on standby mode
during their life cycle.
In Every home inverter always plugged on whether
it is charging the battery or not.
Almost 14% if India’s population equal no. of cell phone chargers
remain on all the time.
power consumed by Television on
standby mode :
Now for calculations India’s total population
considered 100 crore
It is shown in the graph that only 26% of India’s
population, no of televisions are running in India. And
14.33% of population remains on stand by mode.
Power consumption by one television on standby
mode= 13.57W (Calculated)
Therefore power consumption by televisions on stand
by mode = 1944 MW
Power consumed by cell phone
charger on standby mode
From the study it is shown that only13.72% of India’s
population cell phone charges remain on without
charging the cell phone.
It is calculated that one cell phone charger consumes 0.23
watt when it is on and cell phone is not connected or it is
fully charged.
Therefore power consumption by cell phone charger =
31.55MW
Power consumed by inverters on
stabdby mode.
Study shows that 12.04% of India’s population, inverters are running
in India. And all are always in on position.
It is assumed that only 30% time they remain in standby mode.( means
at that time they are not charging the battery )
Power consumption by one inverter on standby mode = 80W
Power consumed by total no of inverters 2889.6MW

General Awareness
One Watt Initiative
• The One Watt Initiative is an energy proposal by the International Energy
Agency (IEA) to reduce standby power-use in all appliances to just one watt.
• The 1-watt plan is an agreement across the world to reduce the standby power
losses. It is a voluntary agreement. The proposal is coming from the
International Energy Agency and contains:
• In all participating countries, it is forbidden by 2010 to produce appliances
with standby losses below 1 watt.
• In all participating countries are the same definitions valid for the standby
losses.
• All participating countries maintain the same procedure for the measurement
of the appliance.
General Awareness:
The government can take steps to decrease the losses. One
step is the introduction of standards for standby powers.
